Jerry Sullivan of the Buffalo News has an entire column today bashing T.O. not for his performance on Monday night, but because, as Sullivan puts it, “He took a pass. The kind you can’t drop.” Your intuition is correct: there is no such thing as a football pass that cannot be dropped. But Sullivan has tricked you: he’s slangin’ metaphors, fool!
Buffalo Media Comes Up With New, Creative Ways to Bash T.O.
↵The “pass” of which Sullivan writes is T.O. opting to not speak with reporters after the game. What follows is 800 words bemoaning Owens’ decision not to talk to a group of people with recorders and notepads, eager to take every word he says out of context. You can read all of that, if you like. Or you can skip to the end, where Sullivan sums it all up:
↵↵They say Owens is a great teammate. But once the real games began, T.O. wasn’t all about the team. He was, as we’d been warned, all about himself.
↵↵That’s right: T.O. is a bad teammate because he didn’t speak to the media.
